LONDON. January l3.-Detailed ac-
counts were received here of some of
the most shameful evictions ever re.
corded in the history Of Ireland. At
Glenberg, County Kerry. on the estate
of Right Honorable Rowland Winn, the
time chosen for the ejectment was in
the midst of a pitiless tempest of wind,
snow and rain. The unfortunate ten
ants were driven out in a pelting storm,
without board to shelter them, and
then to prevent the possibility of their
returning, the bailiffs proceeded to set
fire to their cottages, which were soon
in blaze and reduced to ruins. Winn
Is an implaeable Tory and resolved ap-
parently on extreme measures.

The substance of President Fitzger.
AIDS address to the officers and men,
bers of the Citizens National League of
America is as follows: The present po-
silion of affairs in Ireland deserves con-
sideratiOn and renewed energy upon our
part. The greed and aggressiveness of
landlordism, comprising new plunder.
and the extremity of the Irish people,
have forced upon them the alternative
of ruin or resistance, such as it is within
their power to offer. There can be no
doubt that the present plan of
campaign offers the best practical means
SO far discovered of rendering effective
the determination of the Irish people to
protect themselves in the possession of
their homes. 1t becomes therefore my
duty to thus direct your attention to the
new crisis which has arisen in Ireland.
and doing this, feel that have done
all that is necessary to urge you to re-
newed zealand energy in the labor of love
which you have undertaken. am glad
to be able to announce to you that the
affairs of the Irish National League of
America are in q most satisfactory and
fourishing condition, and the organiza-
ton itself has never been more healthy,
vigorous aud hopeful than at the present
time. The address speaks of what has
already been accomplished, compliments
the efforts of Treasurer O'Reilly and
Secretary Sutton, and closes with an ap.
peal to members of the League to take
new courage and proceed with new zeal
to the task still before them.
